To improve your skill at predicting the future, you work on
two things - accuracy and calibration. There are well
established and mathematically
pretty ways to score accuracy. However, scoring calibration
tends to be a mixture of eyeballing histograms and calculating
fractions of failed predictions for arbitrary fixed
ranges of confidence. This is not ideal.
First, let's talk about the current ("traditional") method,
and what is wrong with it.

I was just about to run an introductory workshop around applied rationality, mindfulness, effective communication etc. in Warsaw, Poland when I got the flu, which forced me to stay in bed for a few days. A friend agreed to replace me at the event, and I wrote up the following notes for him.

The notes are not comprehensive, and do not include any background information or explanations. However, the availability of this kind of materials seems to be low, so there is a chance someone will at least take some inspiration from this.
